"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

OPINION: Catherine Connolly's Irish presidential win highlights how delusional the country has become when it comes to security.

It should also serve as a wake-up call for other EU members in terms of the country’s unreliability on defense issues.
The case for an Anglo-Irish defense union
Only a formal bilateral agreement with the U.K. can deliver the territorial security that Ireland — and the EU’s western borders — desperately needs.

"Speech... it ain't free no more... If you wanna say something nice about the president's thick, yellow hair, or that he can do his makeup better than any broad? That's free. But if you wanna do a joke like, he's so fat he needs two seats on the Epstein jet? That's gonna cost ya."

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Watching the Twin Towers collapse on 9/11, I remember thinking, "It was mostly air." Somehow it had never occurred to me that the inside of a building — even an enormous one — was mostly air. Having the same feeling now as I watch the Constitution collapse: Turns out... it was just air.
